Recipe for Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. These pancakes are sophisticated, yet accessible. It's hard to find a more perfect start to a special breakfast or brunch. Serve with jam or maple syrup.

Ingredients

1 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 1/4 cup ricotta cheese

4 teaspoons sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

2 eggs

3/4 cup milk

juice of 1 lemon

zest of 1 lemon, minced

Directions

Lightly oil a large griddle or skillet (preferably non-stick). Heat skillet over medium heat. You can tell if your skillet or griddle is hot enough by flicking a drop or two of water on its surface. The water should skitter around and quickly evaporate if the pan is hot enough.
